Join us for an elegant evening at the Green Tortoise this Halloween ~

Our program begins, with a binge drinking contest~ true to the notorious refinement of the Green Tortoise San Francisco, the night doesn't end until the keg is empty and the liquor stores are sold out.

**Did someone say Costume Contest??**

The evening continues with a contest of wit and charm, as scantily clad young men and women come to represent the great nations of the world. Prizes of luxurious Charles Shaw wine to the winners of the following categories: most inappropriate costume, best mummy, and What the F*** is she wearing???

The tradition at the Green Tortoise is to project the largest Super Bowl image our amazing Ballroom can handle. The Arizona Cardinals face off with The Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday and we here at the Green Tortoise in San Francisco will be ready. I have not been following football this season but I came from Minnesota and the Vikings never won it although they came close (too many years ago now). I can remember going to church on play off Sundays and we mid westerners were very much praying for our home team to go all the way - God didn't see it as that important to our lives.

There is a point here, I will be hoping that Arizona wins because they are not from some godforsaken frozen tundra like Pittsburgh which reminds me of my lost childhood. Well I may change sides since I still like to visit that vast wasteland and because if Arizona is ahead I'll turn and hope for the underdog - like so many of us in America, can't help it.

In the Green Tortoise Ballroom (the largest international hostel meeting room in the known Universe) we will have free snacks and free beer during the game, live music afterward *For Paid Guest Only!*

Thanx for checking this out, it is the official kick off of our blog. See you Sunday for the game kick off.
